We can't tell you too much yet but amazing wheels are around the corner!

We
know our leaders are very serious about Shape N' Race and so are we.
So we're engineering some new wheels that according to specs should be
the fastest on the market AND some of the best looking wheels we think
have ever been produced.

Putting your money to work for the kingdom

As tax season nears an end, you may find yourself with a little extra dough coming your way. Please remember Christian Service Brigade as you determine God's plan for that money. We would love to help you make an eternal impact with your return.

Brigade had a huge impact on you when you were younger, the impact doesn't need to end.

If you are a Brigade Alum and can make it out for even part of this weekend event, we strongly encourage you to make the time.

Men and young men from more than 10 states will be gathering April 29 - May 1 for N-Counter 2016. When we did this event for the first time 5 years ago it turned out to be an amazing time of connecting for the young men who attended but it was also a deeply satisfying time of RE-connecting for Brigade alumni.

How one college student used the Watchword app to start spending time with God

I’m in college. That means I’m busy… and stressed. Reading, homework,
presentations, exams, and the demands of learning to live life at age
19 all make me feel so busy that I don’t always remember my God time.

Last year I was really not as in touch with Christ as I needed to be.
All of the stresses and anxieties had been building up and my life
became full of worry. I knew I needed to be spending time with God but
the busyness and worry made time with God seem even less possible. I
needed to remember that God was in control but I was so distracted that I
felt really alone and negative.

Part of my struggle to spend time in God’s word was simple
forgetfulness and the fact that I had not yet learned to make it an
important part of my daily routine. Not knowing when and what to read
just made getting into the habit all the more daunting.

He'd never seen anything quite like Shane

Paul has been a Christian Service Brigade leader in his local church for 16 years. During that time he’s seen pretty much everything you can imagine when it comes to boys. He’s seen star performers, debilitating shyness, human loudspeakers, rambunctious and all points in between. However, he had never seen anything quite like Shane. “We were running a bus into town to pick up boys to come to our Brigade meetings,” explains Paul. “We had some rough boys. I was always stopping the bus to regain order. Shane was the worst of the bunch. He bullied other boys and really caused a lot of trouble.”

Shane had a difficult home life. There was a lot of abuse and Shane endured his share. Shane’s mother would even bring him to Paul’s house when his father couldn’t control his anger. She realized he was safer in the home of his mentor, than the home of his father.
